I just now discovered the problem I've been having off and on over the past 3 - 4 years, off and on. More on as of recently.
I've only owned 2 PSU's over the past 4 years. A Corsair AX850 and starting about 5 months ago, a new Corsair AX860i.
The problem of course is "Coil Whine" ....
It's getting worse and worse with my new Corsair AX860i. In fact, it's so bad I cannot even stomach playing a game because of the modulating buzz that comes out through the speakers as I play games like BF4 or Titanfall, and others. And as mentioned, it's getting worse.
Prior to this, I owned the Corsair AX850 and had a Coil Whine problem as well, but it wasn't nearly as bad. It would come and go and come and go only ever annoying me.
I know what to do, RMA ... but I dread having to deal with this.
I know I am not the only person having this problem. A quick search shows that there are an absolute ton of AX850 / AX860 owners having this issue.
What PSU are people buying that has zero coil whine?
